Since recent Corona builds, the Simulator device window does not remember its last position?

I didn’t suggest you should switch to using Quit in the Simulator all the time. What I said was:

In the short term, Paul’s suggestion to set the window position and quit the Corona Simulator via it’s “Quit” menu item should cause the window position to be remembered _ and then you can use ZBS’s “Stop” function and the remembered window position should be used from then on _

I know, of course.

I still use Stop. And whenever I change the position, I have to remember to use Quit. That is very inconvenient and everytime I do this, I will sign because it was working.

It’s a user experience thing.

@joe528, I agree; I don’t think Perry suggests that it’s a long-term solution. We just need to figure out with Perry how to address this.

@joe528, can you try with the latest Corona build (2015.2707+) as it’s expected to fix the issue? I have other reports that the issue is resolved there, but if it’s not fixed in your tests, I may need to make a small change to ZeroBrane Studio as well… Thanks. Paul.

Yes, it’s fixed with 2707+

Thanks a lot!

After the last thread, somehow it started working well even if I use “Stop” in ZBS.  I am not sure who fixed this. My guess is Corona. There is nothing ZBS can do for this.

However, after 6 or 7 months, with recent Corona builds, this issue is happening again.

I cannot use the Stop in ZBS if I want the simulator to remember its last position. Corona must have changed something and break this again.

It becomes very inconvenient and hope Corona can take a look. 

@joe528, I’ll check with my contacts, but what version of the Simulator are you using?

@paulclinger

Corona 2702

but I am using ZBS 1.0 instead of 1.1

This has to do with the way Zerobrane Studio terminates the Corona Simulator.  It seems like this worked before purely by chance and some rearrangement of the internals of the Simulator changed things enough that it doesn’t work in the desired manner anymore.  In the short term, Paul’s suggestion to set the window position and quit the Corona Simulator via it’s “Quit” menu item should cause the window position to be remembered and then you can use ZBS’s “Stop” function and the remembered window position should be used from then on (I haven’t tried this but I would expect it to work).

In the longer term, Paul and I will see what we can do to make the interaction more reliable. 

Yes, using “Quit” via Simulator will work.

However, it is very inconvenient. I still use Stop most of the times & whenever I find I should use Quit, I sign.

I don’t need fancy features from an editor, but this is a basic integration (above all, it was working!)
